So this is interestin'... Births are lower than they've been since the late 1970s
I'm saying it became a for-profit industry with for-profit incentives to overcriminalize everything, including the incidental behaviors of lower- to middle-class families. In the 1980s, a kid could roam around and do some stupid shit in the woods, get hurt, and nobody gets arrested. Today? It would be non-stop local news outrage slop, social media pile-ons, and almost certainly jailtime for the parents.

Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
You can also learn bad things through mentorship that are harder to unlearn than it is to teach someone for the first time. Your are correct in that, if we're focused on what's in the best interests of the guy writing the paychecks, it's almost always better for the payee to be in the office.

Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
It all really depends which five hours it is (and again that was a conservative estimate, because many people have easily 1+ hour commutes each way in places in LA, SF, and NY). If these hours are during normal business hours, that really changes what you can accomplish if you're looking to make your money with commercial and residential real estate.

Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
The question is whether you'd sell out, for a significant amount of money, a significant amount of your autonomy. The best argument I've read so far in favor of selling out is that the extra money enables you to retire sooner. But think of all the time you lose every day, getting ready for work, wasting downtime at the office, commuting, and how much more productively you could be using that time, including on activities whose revenue could far surpass the additional $120k that would be earned via the paycheck. That extra, let's say conservatively, 5 hours per week that you get to spend however you want could be invested towards some smart real estate moves (or in other ways, such as high risk high reward investment opportunities). Of course, you can still do those things while working a normal office job, but you'd have to find the time to do it and usually at the expense of your sleep, hobbies, and family time. That might feel feasible when you're right out of college, but after that first kid? After 35? Now you have to ask: what's the true cost of that added stress? Think of how much harder it would be to get to the gym, or to eat well, or to go to therapy. Not enough hours in the day, so you're dealing with high blood pressure, maybe even diabetes. Eventually something will have to give. So, I view that extra 5 hours per week as the only realistic way to devote adequate time toward profitable side hustles. If you're an enterprising person who believes in yourself, you should take the WFH and wisely invest the free time in your own capabilities.

So this is interestin'... Births are lower than they've been since the late 1970s
A normal 1970s/1980s-style latch key kid upbringing, in today's world of mass-surveillance, NextDoor Karens, and hall monitors, is completely impossible. Society is no longer accustomed to seeing children under the age of 10 wandering the neighborhood unaccompanied. People are being arrested for leaving their children at home while running errands. Technically illegal, I suppose. But look at how much our prison population has jumped over the last 50 years. It's never been easier to get convicted of a crime.

That's just a supply and demand problem. Day cares have so much liability to worry about, and it's expensive to run one. Not a glamorous or well-paying career, so it's hard to find help. This is exactly the kind of endeavor where the free market simply cannot and will not meet the needs of the community. The only way to get this done would be with a taxpayer-funded approach.

Love to see this. Good luck QE!- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Definitely exceeding expectations but the next step is consistency. Wemby's comment about how NYK aren't as good as Miami and OKC (even if it's true) reflects the wrong mindset, and I believe that's coaching.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
All the more reason we shouldn't have shelved Olynyk and Sochan.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Even when we were up 11, my gut was telling me this game "felt" like a loss. Just had all the hallmarks of it. I hate being right. I agree, he loves playing with spite.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
I don't think Wemby underperformed. The Knicks exposed a weakness in his game, and it's something Mitch could have fixed by adding Kornet in the lineup. And more minutes for Keldon, our best offensive rebounder.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
All of this, and we have to come to terms with the fact that he's largely motivated by spite. Hate is what fueled them to victory over OKC. The beef just wasn't there for NYK. They allowed the Knicks to hang around and hang around, and I knew it would implode in the 4th. The most consistent guy was probably Luke on cleanup duty.- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken
Mitch did not emphasize the defensive glass nearly enough. Should have used French Vanilla, and maybe could've used some of Sochan's physicality- San Antonio Spurs 2025-26 - Release the Kraken

Have the peace talks concluded- Jabbar Juluke RB Coach Texas
I would love to have an offense that isn't constantly trying to be too cute. I want "we are going to run this play, there's nothing you can do to stop it, we will keep doing this until it stops being effective, and when that happens, we will run this other play that there's nothing you can do to stop." We get there by dominating the line of scrimmage, giving the RB job to the two best backs in country (the next Earl, Ricky, Jamal, Cedric, D'Onta, JB, Bijan, step right up), and simplifying the passing game for Arch.- Jabbar Juluke RB Coach Texas

Is there some backstory on this? What's wrong with spending time in Vegas with your girlfriend? There are much worse things he could be posting.- Charlie Kirk got ded, Erika Kirk grifts in place
